*Official* World Test Championship Final 2021

[nzfan]

India gets to 250 and it'll be honours even imo. Not easy to bat.

I think we'll bat all right. We won't get 500 but we won't be bowled out for under 150. At least we'll put 250-300 even in these conditions. If we don't it'll be hugely disappointing. We play in these conditions all year. Even our nets are like this. We've played couple of test matches as well.

Was more worried about Indian batters taking the game away from us.

It's gonna be very difficult for Newzealand batsmen, Bumrah, Shami will get late swing with 140+ pace.

 

[Burner]

Ishant getting ready to bat. Big three hype!

 

[jcas0167]

Can Jamieson just keep bowling?

 

[straw man]

we want Jamieson

jinx

 

[hendrix]

India's gamesmanship here a bit annoying.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Ashwin looks leaner than ever. Not sure what's caused an uptick in his general approach to the game. He's always been driven but there's a desperation about him now as if he's more aware of the limited number of years he has left.

this is **** boult. bowl channel.

 

[thierry henry]

250 is a win for India and they’re getting that and more here

 

[Meridio]

Once again we're bowling trash with the new ball. Two sides of the wicket, too full then too short. Frustrating.

 

[Burgey]

Give Wagner another over with the old ball.

Give him the new one

 

[Arachnodouche]

250 is a win for India and they’re getting that and more here

Nah. One wicket and you have one end that can be bowled out inside an over, no exaggeration.

 

[Burner]

That's ethically hit

 

[hendrix]

- could have had about 4 or 5 more overs with the old ball
- Jamieson vs the lower order please.

Latham would have got this right.

 

[thierry henry]

250 is a win for India and they’re getting that and more here

Ok that worked quite promptly

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Phew. Needed that

 

[jcas0167]

Latham is some catcher.

 

[Meridio]

There we go.

 

[nzfan]

Geez... that back foot punch from ashwin. He can bat.

Next ball.. thanks mate.

Bowling India out for 220 still a possibility

 

[Moss]

Finally a wicket for Southee. Glad he didn’t lose it after Ashwin was riding his luck.

Very useful runs nevertheless.
